There are many other listed names, but they all default to these basic instruments.

* Gunshot is available in QT insts., but assigning it position #128 brings up applause, which defaults to seashore. You write a part for it (any number except 10) then reassign when making a movie.

** Drum kits occupy space #10 in QT.
